An Episcopal bishop is being condemned by denomination leaders for taking a biblical stand against homosexuality and abandoning the denomination's "doctrine, discipline, and worship."
Bishop Mark Lawrence is being challenged for distancing the Diocese of South Carolina from the larger denomination, which endorses homosexuality and "gay" ordination. He has been under attack since he first started his work in the southern state.
